BFGMiner 5.5.0: CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC mining software, GBT+Stratum, RPC, Linux/Win64

[toptek]

Don't use zadig you want this for bfgminer


https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

zadig

is for cgminer won't work with bfgminer

.zadig  should just uninstall thu device manger under the usb section in windows or in control panel with add and remove Programs depends on your version of windows it's been renamed over the years but all most the same name.


uninstall zadig first or you might have issue you don't want that might lead to a clean install of windows.

Nice one cheers guys. I'll see if I can sort something out tomorrow after work. Try and get one version of a miner working lol.

I've had the same problem. Have never been able to get BFGminer to recognize the U3. Would appreciate knowing if you have any luck. Thanks.

Hi guys..i run bfgminer with following comand: bfgminer -S opencl:auto -o http://flo.suprnova.cc:3210 -u Students.students -p *****
Please tell why im getting 0.0 kb/s

Did you enable scrypt and pass the --scrypt command when you launched BFGMiner? You do appear to be hashing from what I can tell and from your screenshot it has only been 6 minutes and 22 seconds. However, you have yet to submit any shares and it could be due to the pool difficulty being too high for your hardware.

im not sure where to put this so ill put this here..

im trying to get the moonlaner usb scrypt sticks to work on the R1 with openwrt.

i compiled bfgminer for the moonlander usb sticks on linux with cross-compile.. everything ok there..

but when i run bfgminer on the r1 with the moonlader usb i get this

Man i wish i could give you some tips on openwrt that's a  whole new learning thing for me . I'm really enjoying learning it, there is  a lot there to learn

im wondering if its just the little thing doesnt have enough cpu to keep bfgminer happy?

basically the stick sits idle, its getting work, but not sending any.

I'm wondering if its just the little thing doesnt have enough cpu to keep bfgminer happy ?.

basically the stick sits idle, its getting work, but not sending any.

I would say ask here https://archive.litecointalk.org/index.php , but it's still read only after the hack there is one or two threads there with support it would prolly get fixed there .

just looked at the R1 specs it says on bitmain site the only miner USB wise that will work with it is the U3 which is BS if one works anything should. it may be a driver issue more then anything.


the engine is a tlink type should be np with 2.4 g and 150m speed so im guessing the ram/rom or nand memory is 8 mb or better that should be enough, i have a few openwrt routers with about the same but there not miners either but sense it will work with a U3 or suppose to is that powered by the router so im guessing yea sense it was referring to the part that can charge a phone. so try it with a powered usb hub or ask jat if hell look into it.?.

does bfg run at all ?

is there enough space on the router after it was unlocked to handle it
?
like you said

i think there is, do a space check sorry off hand the only check i know of is for SD cards , still learn  openwrt i forget a lot till i use it a lot.

[in2tactics]

The USB port is supposed to provide 2A max. It should supply more than enough power to provide ~1 MH without needing a powered USB hub.

post your logs or full setting . by power outage you mean ? . using windows ? upgrading ? fresh bfg install ? by that I mean used the old bfg setting or a full complete clean install on the PC ?


why not go back to the bfg that worked . i like keeping stuff up to date to but sometimes i have to use old version of something if that helps any. but if there is a issue after going back to what worked you may need to do a complete clean install on that PC. to clear out any bad links or shares after the downgrade if it comes to that or to fix what the power outage might have caused . if this is why .

[toptek]

hey luke i  saw you in Avalon channel why can't I get them to answer a question about a order i made and paid at least with bitmain they keep me updated . no matter how big the order is .I  really hate using that kind of chat but it's looking like i may have to become a jerk.

pulled USB erupters no more messages.

So What is solved now just why   then fix  

just got 5 more so no change from USB erupters other than it took longer to see an error.
